Topping question.
eldruidamxstarted grow question 5y ago
The question is experienced. Today I cut all 4 colas into two of my plants to bifurcate them. I have read many articles and watched many YouTube videos, but there is no definitive information. Will this increase yields and help fill the skrog net? Or was it not worth it?

It should double each site that you cut, only make sure to only do that in vegetative state.

Bottom leaves yellowish - why? And can I top?On both of my plants (C99 & S.A.D.) the bottom leaves are turning yellowish and I can't figure out why. I'd also like to top them this week (above 3rd node), but I'm hesitant because of the leaves. Any advice on what they may be missing, and whether I should wait with topping?Leaves. Color - Yellow

When Should I Top My Plants?I plan on moving the plants outdoors within the next week or two. I'm going to be topping them, but I'm wondering if I should do it now during their last week inside or wait until I transplant and they're accustomed to the outside weather. Thanks in advance!Week 6

Topped the same way with 2 different results?? First time growerI tried to top 2 plants in the same way but one main shoot stopped growing, but the other had two new growths come right out of the old stem, as well as 2 bushier side stems.
I am just wondering what I did differently and if both plants should work out fine.

When to start 12/12Hi people. My plants are on vegetation day 26 and are 8 inches tall. My tent setup can give them room for 15 more inches for a total of 23 inches height from soil to top.
So, when do you think I should start 12/12 to maximize the plants height and yield? Thanks.4y ago
